Timeline - Michael Crichton

"In an Arizona desert, a man wanders in a daze, speaking words that made no sense. Within twenty-four hours he is dead, his body swiftly cremated by his only known associates. Halfway around the world, archeologists make a shocking discovery at a medieval site. Suddenly they are swept off to the headquarters of a secretive multinational corporation that has developed an astounding technology.

Now this group is about to get a chance not to study the past but to enter it. And with history opened up to the present, the dead awakened to living, these men and women will soon find themselves fighting for their very survival -- six hundred years ago."

Timeline written by the late Michael Crichton is an exciting and suspenseful adventure in which the present and the past come together with disastrous consequences. Featuring a unique blend of history and sci-fi, Crichton wonderfully brings 1357 France alive with incredible detail. Featuring exciting action sequences, interesting characters, and heart racing suspense, this is a novel that you will want to read more than once!

Timeline is guaranteed to be a hit with fans of Jurassic Park, time travel and sci-fi in general. Due to its more mature content, this is a novel more suited to students in Year 11 and 12.

Traveling to the past was easy ... getting back home alive ... that is the real challenge!

Will they make it? How will they survive? Borrow Timeline today from the IRC and find out!
